The health emergency caused by the Coronavirus has put the spotlight on disinfection, a topic that has gained widespread attention, especially concerning personal hygiene and the cleaning of surfaces we come into contact with daily—both at work and at home.

ENSURING SAFETY

In recent weeks, stores, medical offices, and businesses have recognized the importance of ensuring safety for their customers and employees. However, it’s worth remembering that something as simple as proper handwashing can be a powerful ally in this health crisis.

HOW TO WASH YOUR HANDS

Hands are a primary vehicle for transmitting pathogenic germs due to their frequent contact with people or potentially contaminated objects. It's essential to wash hands multiple times throughout the day—before eating, handling or consuming food, caring for a sick person, blowing one’s nose, using the bathroom, or after using public transportation. To remove pathogens from the skin, washing with water and disinfectant soap or using an alcohol-based gel is effective. Running water with disinfectant soap removes dirt and germs, while alcohol-based gels offer germicidal action due to alcohol (usually ethyl or sometimes isopropyl), which kills germs and provides disinfectant properties.

FOR HOW LONG?

If hands are visibly very dirty, they should be washed with disinfectant soap and water for 40-60 seconds. When water is unavailable, use an alcohol-based gel for at least 20-30 seconds.
